Seems I did read a while back that cbcsports of Canada signed a deal for the season's GP. And there's always YouTube. but this is very disappointing for US fans - and short sighted of NBC and others as the sport builds towards the Olympics. Many fans like to keep track of the "competition" so to speak. I know I do.

merriberry - This is true. US fans wll suffer with NBC except for the Olympics. There is money to be made with sponsors for the Olys. If one of America's three Graces proves to be competitive for gold at US Nats and 2009 Worlds, there will be a surge of American interest in Figure Skating for that night of (h)oly nights. I believe once NBC finishes with the Olys, they will take a walk.

Sad. US fans did put up with the Sunday afternoon non serious comps back in the Tanya/Nancy days instead of complaining that they wanted serious comps and not the drivel which was shown. It drove casual fans away from the TV sets who did want to view a true competitive sport. JMO.

A synopsis of SA will be shown on NBC as will a bigger portion of US Nats, and Worlds. There has been nothing about the other GPs including the Final. Maybe somehow IceNetwork will show some. We haven't heard.

NBC, let's face it. They are not interested in the Sport of any kind unless it brings in money. With that plan to show weekend Mens/Pairs and last weekend LadiesDance on the same week for 2010 Nationals will be a big test for networks to study the revenues produced. Also stadiums will consider whether they will lose money on LIVE competition.

It should all be interesting and coming soon. What they need out of Cleveland is a consensus that the winner can take on Mao and YuNa and maybe Kostner. The Weir/Lysacek rivalry should produce a big rating, and maybe give credence to a win in Mens. The Pairs will be the most exciting comp in years and the Dance will Tanith and Ben be replaced as numero uno.

Skate America which we may see some of it on TV will give a glimpse of the Cleveland Nats.
